Exercise, interrupted
For reasons that I will get into at another time, I ended up not getting my workout in yesterday. Today's was just 45 minutes. I should have kept going tonight. Because now I have exactly 3 days left in the week and exactly 3 60 minute workouts that I need to complete in order to achieve my weekly goal. I have a conference call in 15 minutes (that's right, at 9pm). I have a hard time switching context between "work" and "family"; it's inefficient because it's not a perfect on/off switch. I prefer to get my work done in one consecutive lump sum so that I can switch to family and not have it in the back of my head that in X hours I have to switch back.
I'm not giving up yet. I do have 3 days; just enough to make my goal if I do 60 minutes each day. It may not be at the breakneck speeds and calorie-burning that last week's workouts were, but as long as I am moving for 60 consecutive minutes and elevating my heart rate even just a little bit, it still counts.

You can do it! I'm counting on you as my role model.
